Bartholin's gland
The Bartholin's glands (also called Bartholin glands or greater vestibular glands) are two pea sized compound racemose glands〔Manual of Obstetrics. (3rd ed.). Elsevier. pp. 1-16. ISBN 9788131225561.〕 located slightly posterior and to the left and right of the opening of the vagina. They secrete mucus to lubricate the vagina and are homologous to bulbourethral glands in males. However, while Bartholin's glands are located in the superficial perineal pouch in females, bulbourethral glands are located in the deep perineal pouch in males. Their duct length is 1.5 to 2.0 cm and open into navicular fossa.〔 The ducts are paired and they open on the surface of the vulva.
==Function==
Bartholin's glands secrete mucus to provide vaginal lubrication.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Viscera of the Urogenital Triangle )〕 Bartholin's glands secrete relatively minute amounts of fluid when a woman is sexually aroused.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Bartholin's Gland )〕 The minute droplets of fluid were once believed to be important for lubricating the vagina, but research from Masters and Johnson demonstrated that vaginal lubrication comes from deeper within the vagina.〔 The fluid may slightly moisten the labial opening of the vagina, serving to make contact with this sensitive area more comfortable for the woman.〔
